Help with installing new Graphics Card
So I took out my GeForce Ti and replaced it with a new Radeon 9600 SE and
followed the instuctions about uninstalling the old graphics drivers. When I rebooted with the new card installed, it noticed the new hardware and I allowed Windows to search for the standard VGA Driver, but it couldn't find it. So I put in the Win XP cd and it didn't find anything on there either. Now I go straight to the ATI supplied cd and try to install the Catalyst Software Suite, but it fails with an INF error and says "the video driver is not found, try to set up your display adapter with a standard dirver before running set up." How do I accomplish this? Thanks in advance, -Rocky |

... Delete your display adaptor in Control Panel, then reboot. In the Contol Panel I have one thing labeled Display. I can't right-click delete it, should I drag that to the trash? Sorry for being extra cautious but I have never done this before. |

Where do I find the Graphics Card? I think I already deleted the GeForce Card and that's why it fails to load the new ATI Driver with an INF error and says "the video driver is not found, try to set up your display adapter with a standard dirver before running set up." |

Right click my computer on your desktop.Left click properties from the menu
and system properties will open.Left click hardware then device manager and then left click the plus (+) next to display adapters.Highlight your gfx card from the open menu and right click,in that menu click uninstall and then ok.You dont need to reboot with XP but do so anyway and the o/s will detect your gfx card and ask for the drivers.If your not sure what to do,load the disc that came with the card and let it auto run.This should load the drivers by following the screen prompts. Good luck |

Good luck As Garlic Bread says but when it reboots and asks for the drivers you might be better to click on cancel and (provided you have deleted the other drivers off your system) it will then load the standard vga driver. You can then install the correct drivers from the CD. HTH, Shawk |

Where can I get one? |

Did you get a driver disc with the new gfx card?If you did the driver is on
that , not the XP cd.Other than that go to : http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html and download the latest catalyst drivers or go to the card manufacturers website and get them from there.I have a Radeon 9700pro ultimate and often check there for new drivers even though the card is a sapphire card. |
